Description: COMPOUNDS, COMPOSITIONS AND TREATMENT OF ALLERGIES AND INFLAMMATION The present invention relates to novel compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and their use in treating allergic and inflammatory diseases and for inhibiting the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). Background of the Invention Bronchial asthma is a complex, multifactorial disease characterized by reversible narrowing of the airway and hyperreactivity of the respiratory tract to external stimuli. Identification of novel therapeutic agents for asthma is made difficult by the fact that multiple mediators are responsible for the development of the disease. Thus, it seems unlikely that eliminating the effects of a single mediator will have a substantial effect on all three components of chronic asthma. An alternative to the "mediator approach" is to regulate the activity of the cells responsible for the pathophysiology of the disease. One such way is by elevating levels of cAMP (adenosine cyclic 3',5'- monophosphate). Cyclic AMP has been shown to be a second messenger mediating the biologic responses to a wide range of hormones, neurotransmitters and drugs; [Krebs Endocrinology Proceedings of the 4th International Congress Excerpta Medica, 17-29, 1973]. When the appropriate agonist binds to specific cell surface receptors, adenylate cyclase is activated, which converts Mg + -ATP to cAMP at an accelerated rate. Cyclic AMP modulates the activity of most, if not all, of the cells that contribute to the pathophysiology of extrinsic (allergic) asthma. As such, an elevation of cAMP would produce beneficial effects including: 1) airway smooth muscle relaxation, 2) inhibition of mast cell mediator release, 3) suppression of neutrophil degranulation, 4) inhibition of basophil degranulation, and 5) inhibition of monocyte and macrophage activation. Hence, compounds that activate adenylate cyclase or inhibit phosphodiesterase should be effective in suppressing the inappropriate activation of airway smooth muscle and a wide variety of inflammatory cells. The principal cellular mechanism for the inactivation of cAMP is hydrolysis of the 3'-phosphodiester bond by one or more of a family of isozymes referred to as cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs). It has now been shown that a distinct cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) isozyme, PDE IV, is responsible for cAMP breakdown in airway smooth muscle and inflammatory cells. [Torphy, "Phosphodiesterase Isozymes: Potential Targets for Novel Anti-asthmatic Agents" in New Drugs for Asthma, Barnes, ed. IBC Technical Services Ltd., 1989]. Research indicates that inhibition of this enzyme not only produces airway smooth muscle relaxation, but also suppresses degranulation of mast cells, basophils and neutrophils along with inhibiting the activation of monocytes and neutrophils. Moreover, the beneficial effects of PDE IV inhibitors are markedly potentiated when adenylate cyclase activity of target cells is elevated by appropriate hormones or autocoids, as would be the case in vivo. Thus PDE IV inhibitors would be effective in the asthmatic lung, where levels of prostaglandin E2 and prostacyclin (activators of adenylate cyclase) are elevated. Such compounds would offer a unique approach toward the pharmacotherapy of bronchial asthma and possess significant therapeutic advantages over agents currently on the market. The compounds of this invention also inhibit the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a serum glycoprotein. Excessive or unregulated TNF production has been implicated in mediating or exacerbating a number of diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis, osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis and other arthritic conditions; sepsis, septic shock, endotoxic shock, gram negative sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, adult respiratory distress syndrome, cerebral malaria, chronic pulmonary inflammatory disease, silicosis, pulmonary sarcoidosis, bone resorption diseases, reperfusion injury, graft vs. host reaction, allograft rejections, fever and myalgias due to infection, such as influenza, cachexia secondary to infection or malignancy, cachexia secondary to human acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), AIDS, ARC (AIDS related complex), keloid formation, scar tissue formation, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or pyresis, in addition to a number of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diabetes and systemic lupus erythematosis. - AIDS results from the infection of T lymphocytes with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). At least three types or strains of HIV have been identified, i.e., HIV-1, HIV-2 and HIV-3. As a consequence of HIV infection, T-cell-mediated immunity is impaired and infected individuals manifest severe opportunistic infections and/or unusual neoplasms. HIV entry into the T lymphocyte requires T lymphocyte activation. Viruses such as HTV-1 or HIV-2 infect T lymphocytes after T cell activation and such virus protein expression and/or replication is mediated or maintained by such T cell activation. Once an activated T lymphocyte is infected with HIV, the T lymphocyte must continue to be maintained in an activated state to permit HIV gene expression and/or HIV replication. Cytokines, specifically TNF, are implicated in activated T-cell-mediated HIV protein expression and/or virus replication by playing a role in maintaining T lymphocyte activation. Therefore, interference with cytokine activity such as by inhibition of cytokine production, notably TNF, in an HIV-infected individual aids in limiting the maintenance of T cell activation, thereby reducing the progression of HIV infectivity to previously uninfected cells which results in a slowing or elimination of the progression of immune dysfunction caused by HIV infection. Monocytes, macrophages, and related cells, such as kupffer and glial cells, have also been implicated in maintenance of the HIV infection. These cells, like T cells, are targets for viral replication and the level of viral replication is dependent upon the activation state of the cells. [See Rosenberg et al., The Immunopathogenesis of HIV Infection, Advances in Immunology, Vol. 57, 1989]. Monokines, such as TNF, have been shown to activate HIV replication in monocytes and/or macrophages [See Poli et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 87:782-784, 1990], therefore, inhibition of monokine production or activity aids in limiting HIV progression as stated above for T cells. TNF has also been implicated in various roles with other viral infections, such as the cytomegalovirus (CMV), influenza virus, adenovirus, and the herpes virus for similar reasons as those noted. TNF is also associated with yeast and fungal infections. Specifically Candida albicans has been shown to induce TNF production in vitro in human monocytes and natural killer cells. [See Riipi et al, Infection and Immunity, 58(9):2750-54, 1990; and Jafari et al., Journal of Infectious Diseases, 164:389-95, 1991. See also Wasan et al., Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 35,(10):2046-48, 1991; and Luke et al., Journal of Infectious Diseases, 162:211-214,1990]. The ability to control the adverse effects of TNF is furthered by the use of the compounds which inhibit TNF in mammals who are in need of such use. There remains a need for compounds which are useful in treating TNF-mediated disease states which are exacerbated or caused by the excessive and/or unregulated production of TNF.

All of these compounds are considered to be within the scope of the present invention. The term "C1.3 alkyl", "C1.4 alkyl", "C^g alkyl" or "alkyl" groups as used herein is meant to include both straight or branched chain radicals of 1 to 10, unless the chain length is limited thereto, including, but not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, and the like. "Alkenyl" means both straight or branched chain radicals of 1 to 6 carbon lengths, unless the chain length is limited thereto, including but not limited to vinyl, 1-propenyl, 2- propenyl, 2-propynyl, or 3-methyl-2-propenyl. The term "cycloalkyl" or "cycloalkyl alkyl" means groups of 3-7 carbon atoms, such as cyclopropyl, cyclopropylmethyl, cyclopentyl, or cyclohexyl. "Aryl" or "aralkyl", unless specified otherwise, means an aromatic ring or ring system of 6-10 carbon atoms, such as phenyl, benzyl, phenethyl, or naphthyl. Preferably the aryl is monocyclic, i.e, phenyl. The alkyl chain is meant to include both straight or branched chain radicals of 1 to 4 carbon atoms. "Heteroaryl" means an aromatic ring system containing one or more heteroatoms, such as imidazolyl, triazolyl, oxazolyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazolyl, pyrrolyl, furanyl, or thienyl. "Halo" means all halogens, i.e., chloro, fluoro, bro o, or iσdo. "Inhibiting the production of IL- 1 " or "inhibiting the production of TNF" means: a) a decrease of excessive in vivo IL-1 or TNF levels, respectively, in a human to normal levels or below normal levels by inhibition of the in vivo release of IL-1 by all cells, including but not limited to monocytes or macrophages; b) a down regulation, at the translational or transcriptional level, of excessive in vivo IL-1 or TNF levels, respectively, in a human to normal levels or below normal levels; or c) a down regulation, by inhibition of the direct synthesis of EL-1 or TNF levels as a postranslational event. The phrase "TNF mediated disease or disease states" means any and all disease states in which TNF plays a role, either by production of TNF itself, or by TNF causing another cytokine to be released, such as but not limited to IL-1 or IL-6. A disease state in which IL-1, for instance is a major component, and whose production or action, is exacerbated or secreted in response to TNF, would therefore be considered a disease state mediated by TNF. As TNF-β (also known as lymphotoxin) has close structural homology with TNF-α (also known as cachectin), and since each induces similar biologic responses and binds to the same cellular receptor, both TNF-α and TNF-β are inhibited by the compounds of the present invention and thus are herein referred to collectively as "TNF" unless specifically delineated otherwise. Preferably TNF-α is inhibited. "Cytokine" means any secreted polypeptide that affects the functions of cells, and is a molecule which modulates interactions between cells in immune, inflammatory, or hematopoietic responses. A cytokine includes, but is not limited to, monokines and lymphokines regardless of which cells produce them. The cytokine inhibited by the present invention for use in the treatment of a HIV-infected human must be a cytokine which is implicated in (a) the initiation and/or maintenance of T cell activation and/or activated T cell-mediated HTV gene expression and/or replication, and/or (b) any cytokine-mediated disease associated problem such as cachexia or muscle degeneration. Preferrably, his cytokine is TNF-α. All of the compounds of Formula (I) are useful in the method of inhibiting the production of TNF, preferably by macrophages, monocytes or macrophages and monocytes, in a mammal, including humans, in need thereof. All of the compounds of Formula (I) are useful in the method of inhibiting or mediating the enzymatic or catalytic activity of PDE IV and in treatment of disease states mediated thereby. METHODS OF PREPARATION Preparing compounds of Formula (I) can be carried out by one of skill in the art according to the procedures outlined in the Examples, infra. The preparation of any remaining compounds of Formula (I) not described therein may be prepared by the analogous processes disclosed herein which comprise: a) for compounds wherein X and X3 are other than Br, I, NO2, amine, formyl amine, or S(O)m' when m' is 1 or 2, reacting a compound of Formula (2) wherein Ri represents Ri as defined in relation to Formula (I) or a group convertable to Ri and X represents X as defined in relation to Formula (I) or a group convertable to X and X3 represents X3 as defined in relation to Formula (I) or a group convertable to X3 and X4 is a counter ion (e.g., lithium, magnesium, etc.) with a compound of the Formula (3) wherein X5 is, e.g., OCH3, OC2H5, OCH(CH3)2, etc., followed by appropriate workup to provide a compound of the Formula (4) wherein Ri represents Rl as defined in relation to Formula (I) or a group convertable to Rl and X represents X as defined in relation to Formula (I) or a group convertable to X and X3 represents X3 as defined in relation to Formula (I) or a group convertable to X3 (see the patent application WO 91 15-451 -A published by WIPO). Michael-type reaction of such a compound of the Formula (4) with the appropriate precursor of R3 then provides a compound of the Formula (1); for example, use of diethylaluminum cyanide provides a compound of the Formula (1) wherein Rl represents Rl as defined in relation to Formula (I) or a group convertable to Ri and X represents X as defined in relation to Formula (I) or a group convertable to X and X3 represents X3 as defined in relation to Formula (I) or a group convertable to X3 and.R3 is CN. Compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CHO and Z is O may be prepared from the compound of Formula (I) in which R3 is CN and Z is O after appropriate protection of the ketone as, e.g., a ketal, followed by reduction of the CN moiety with, e.g., di- isobutylaluminum hydride, followed by appropriate workup and kedif Formula (I) wherein R3 is CH2OH and Z is O may be prepared by reduction of the compound of Formula (I) in which R3 is CHO and =Z is a ketal protecting group with, e.g., sodium borohydride, followed by appropriate workup and ketone deprotection. Compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CH2NR8R8 and Z is O may be prepared by reduction of the compound of Formula (I) in which R3 is CN and =Z is a ketal protecting group with, e.g., lithium aluminum hydride or hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, followed by appropriate workup, standard alkylation by R8 and then ketone deprotection. Compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is C≡CR8' and Z is O may be prepared from the compound of Formula (I) in which R3 is CHO and =Z is a ketal protecting group by reaction with a mixture of dimethyl (diazomethyl)phosphonate and potassium t- butoxide or other suitable base, in an inert solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, at reduced temperature, followed by appropriate workup and ketone deprotection to provide the compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is C≡CH; alternatively, prior to ketone deprotection, alkylation of the acetylene under the appropriate conditions with a strong base followed by an alkylating agent, Rs , wherein L is a leaving group and R8' is not H, followed by ketone deprotection, provides compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is C≡ CR8". Compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CH2F and Z is O may be prepared from the compound of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CH2OH and =Z is a ketal protecting group by treatment with diethyl-aminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) followed by ketone deprotection. Compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CHF2 and Z is O may be prepared from the compound of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CHO and =Z is a ketal protecting group by treatment with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) followed by ketone deprotection. The compounds of Formula (I) where R3 is Cl alkyl and Z is O may be prepared from the compound of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CH2OH and =Z is a protected ketone by reductive removal of the alcohol with lithium in ammonia, with aluminum hydride, or by conversion of the alcohol to the corresponding thiocarbamate followed by reduction with, e.g., tributyltin hydride or trialkylsilyl hydride, and ketone deprotection; alternatively, the compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is Cl alkyl and Z is O may be prepared from the compound of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CHO and =Z is a protected ketone by thioketal formation, desulfurization and ketal deprotection. Compounds of Formula (I) where R3 is C2-4 alkyl or halogen substituted C2-4 alkyl and Z is O may be prepared by analogous deoxygenation procedures from the corresponding alcohol derived from reaction of the compound of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CHO and =Z is a protected ketone with a metal alkyl or a halogen substituted C2-4 metal alkyl reagent and subsequent deprotection to liberate the =Z ketone. Compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is vinyl and Z is O may be prepared by, e.g., Wittig or other olefination reaction of the compound of Formula (I) wherein R3 is CHO and =Z is a protected ketone, and subsequent deprotection to liberate the =Z ketone. Compounds of Formula (I) wherein R3 is cyclopropyl and Z is O may be prepared from the compound of Formula (I) wherein R3 is vinyl and =Z is a protected ketone by reaction with, e.g., methylene iodide and zinc-copper couple, with subsequent deprotection to liberate the =Z ketone. Most compounds of Formula (I) wherein Z is not O are prepared from the corresponding compounds of Formula (I) wherein Z is O by reaction with the appropriate amine, alcohol, active methylene reagent, thiol, etc., in the presence of a catalyst or with removal of water, if required, as described in United States patent application 07/862,083 filed 2 April 1992 and its progeny USSN 07/968,753 filed 30 October 1992; however, when R3 is CHO, this R3 group may require protection as, e.g., a ketal, during reaction followed by deprotection. b) Compounds of Formula (I) wherein X or X3 is formyl amine and Z is O may be prepared by formylating, at the last step, a compound wherein =Z is a protected ketone and X is NH2, obtained by removal of a protecting group from the amine functionality; such protective groups are well known to those skilled in the art, See Greene, T. and Wuts, P.G.M., Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd Ed., John Wiley and Sons, New York (1991). c) Compounds of Formula (I) wherein X or X3 is Br or I and Z is O may be prepared from a similarly deprotected amine by diazotization of the amine and diazonium displacement via Sandmeyer reaction. d) Compounds of Formula (I) wherein X or X3 is NO2 and Z is O may be prepared from a similarly deprotected amine by oxidation of the amine to the nitro group. e) Compounds of Formula (I) wherein Y is S(O)m' when m' is 1 or 2 and Z is O may be prepared from the compounds of Formula (I) wherein Y is S by oxidation of the SR2 moiety under conditions well known to those skilled in the art.

PDE IV is purified to kinetic homogeneity by the sequential use of anion-exchange followed by heparin-Sepharose chromatography [Torphy et al., J. Biol. Chem., 267:1798-1804, 1992]. Phosphodiesterase activity is assayed as described in the protocol of Torphy and Cieslinski, Mol. Pharmacol., 37:206-214, 1990. Positive ICso's in the nanomolar to μM range for compounds of the workings examples described herein for Formula (I) have been demonstrated. EXAMPLE D The ability of selected PDE IV inhibitors to increase cAMP accumulation in intact tissues is assessed using U-937 cells, a human monocyte cell line that has been shown to contain a large amount of PDE IV.
